Polyester

The introduction of polyester comes mostly in dresses worn my Peggy and Megan. The coral colored dress Megan has on when Don annonces the engament is a good example, working woman's wardrobe was shifting to no iron poly. Peggy has worn some interesting
polydresses. They are so
determindly functional. One piece dresses with a zipper up the back. Not a suit, not a skirt set. Just step in, zip and your off.
I never enjoyed wearing poly, no matter what kind of deoderant, anti-persperant, or perfume or cologne worn, the end of the day, or even the middle of the day, the fabric smelled. Expose it to cigarette smoke and the effect is amplified. The stuff smelled.
And it seems Joan stays with her wool and or cotton dresses with an internal sheath.
I wonder if in Small Kisses there will be an introduction
of mini skirts. And perhaps a pixie
cut or two.
If S4 ended in Oct of 65, there has to be secrateries starting to wear more mod fashion, including pants.
Inclusing bell bottoms.

I wonder if LSD will be broached as a recreational drug
or even psycholgical tool.
